My (no doubt weak) translation, courtesy of babelfish: Transmission of hour signals in HF, during two periods of 25 minutes daily, in 15006 and 4998 KHz. Respectively, between 10:00 and 11:00 hours UTC. From your posting IP I suspect that you are in NYC. Does anyone have any reason to believe that these signals separated from WWV by only 4 and 2 kHz respectively could ever be resolved in NYC? Perhaps European readers have copied those signals; also under remarkable propagation conditions it is conceivable that they could mix with WWV in the States, much like WWVH is often mixed with WWV here in the Northern Midwest (the female voice from WWVH always speaks during silence of the male voice from WWV). Regards, Michael Regards, Michael Most time signals outside the US are within a few khz of 5, 10, and 15 Mhz, because there's a narrow band around those freqs that is allocated for time signals. (There are also allocations for 2.5, 20, and 25 Mhz, but they are rarely used. NIST canned its 20 Mhz outlet years ago.) They canned the 25 MHz outlet, not the 20. |
